Best tide state to fish Bass & Flinders Point / Salmon Haul (Cronulla)
The point faces roughly south to south-east into the Port Hacking entrance, so it cops ocean swell square-on and washes out fast once the swell pushes much past 1.5m — the lower ledges become no-go water well before that. A northerly or north-westerly blows offshore here and flattens the front, which is when the point fishes its best. Salmon Haul Bay tucks in behind a high rock ledge that gives shelter from northerlies, so it's the fallback when the wind swings. Tide matters as much as wind: the run-in pulls clean ocean water and bait around the point, and the hour either side of the change is the window. After heavy rain the river runs dirty out the entrance and the bite goes quiet.
What anglers target here
